Isaak Rabinovich was a stage designer and Honoured Art Worker of the RSFSR (1936). Born in Kyiv, he studied at the Kyiv Art School (1906–1912) and in the studio of the painter Alexander Murashko (1912–1915). He began his career as a stage designer in 1911. Alexandra Exter had a strong influence on Rabinovich's creative path. From the early 1920s, the artist lived and worked in Moscow. He designed many performances, including: Chekhov's “The Wedding” (Vakhtangov Theatre, 1921), Schiller's “Don Carlos” (Comedy Theatre, formerly Korsh Theatre, 1922), Aristophanes' “Lysistrata” (MKHAT Music Studio, 1923), and Bizet's “Carmencita and the Soldier” (“Carmen”) (MKHAT Music Studio, 1924). Between 1926 and 1930, Rabinovich taught at VKHUTEMAS (the Higher Art and Technical Studios). From 1955 to 1961, he served as Chief Stage Designer of the Vakhtangov Theatre. Isaak Rabinovich also worked in cinema, creating set designs for Yakov Protazanov's film “Aelita” (1924). A mosaic based on his sketches adorns the ground-level vestibule of the Paveletskaya metro station in Moscow. The online collection of the Bakhrushin Theatre Museum features Isaak Rabinovich's designs for productions of the State Jewish Chamber Theatre (GOSET), as well as other materials related to the artist's creative legacy.
